Rock Bottom

"Pennies an Hour and No Way up" made me understand how hard it must be for people in a sweatshop to support themselves and their families. The problem with the sweatshops is terrible, but I also asked myself what would they do if there was no sweatshop. Would they have any work at all? It is a issue which I try to understand but it isn't my position to fix it, the governemnt of that country, of the U.S. and the Companies leaders are the people who should fix the problem with kids as workers and the miniscule wages. It upsets me how there are CEO's and many other leaders of companies who are flying on private jets but don't care about the workers who are making them richer than some small countries. "Nickel-and-Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America" already showed me something that I know, it is very hard to get by in America on minimum wage, this is why I'm in college. I don't want that to sound bad but I'm sure the minimum wage workers didn't have a great education and there is nothing the U.S. or we could do to stop this problem, accept preach education and realize there will always be a lower class in our country.
